Report Problems with Ads Here!

I don't think so, not to this degree. I could be wrong.

I've been a member here since 2009. All the ads I've seen (prior to this advertising orgy we're presently being subjected to) were either at the top or bottom, relatively small and discreet and acceptable, at least to me. I can understand the financial part of it and I am ok with it.

But the present bombardment has taken it to a totally different level.

Like I said, my subscription is up in a couple of months and all options are on the table. :D

Cheers. :)

That’s why I responded that I am not having the same issues on a Win10 PC or phone. They do not bounce all around. It seems like those having the issues are a minority or more would be complaining about it (IMO).The pop-ups the last week are always on the bottom of the page and as soon as I close the first one they do not come back until the next time I log in.

I just seems strange that it’s doing that for some?

Whatever happens I hope it gets straightened for you guys.

Ok, you do you. But it seems to be the same small hand full complaining about it all the time.

Have a good weekend :thumbsup:

Edit: just trying to give some more symptom recognition... it is the key to any TS.

No, its NOT the same Handfull each time - I complained this week for the first time ... due to the left vertical ad and matching floating ad.
Thats something new. I did "click the close button" and they closed,
but you do understand that if it remembers that, its due to cookies that are loaded by ad companies on my computer,
and like the rabbi, I hate that, and don't trust ad sources at all. If they get hacked and the ad runs a malware script, there isn't much I can do.
EXCEPT, I am running a MacPro, OSX and not Windows, so that gives me just a bit of safety that many don't have.
Macs can be hacked too, but - the big target is usually Windows machines.

I guess some of us don’t worry about it then and do not have problems :dunno:

I don’t have any problem with the way the new ads are working.

Have a good weekend.

I have been here since the early days of this forum. I have never publicly complained about ads, in any way, until now. I have stated that I believe in funding the forum. I work for it, and you, for free, without even so much as a thank you, from ANYONE. This obtrusive ad problem is a real problem. If it persists...

I read all the “Ad problem” threads, not sure why but I do. All I am saying is compared to the amount of members and users the people complaining about it are a small percentage. Is it really a problem or just a problem for some.

Just an observation.

The ads seem to be working as they should so it’s really not a “problem” with the ads.

I am a software engineer with well over thirty years of experience. But what what do I know?

Fine. There is no problem. As you were...

Its really a problem. I am not going to get into the technical details because some of the people debating this with you are certainly technically adept that you should just stand aside IMHO.

I don't see it but I have a totally locked down machine. But certainly the ads exist just I slap them away before they even have a chance.

Its right in the logs.

So please let the staff handle this.

I am not disagreeing that some do not like it. But from reading what @Advally has said in this thread that is what your going to see.

I read it differently. Its a issue and they are still working on it.

They need clear information to get rid of crap like this. So lets get the thread back to JUST that and nothing else.

Just trying to give input that I am not having these same issues that some are. Then the “experts” that do not like ads pile on...

Have a great weekend Frannie :bigok:

Edit: there is a reason some are and some are not seeing the issues. Been a tech my whole like, pretty sure that kind of info will help with symptom recongnition.

You could have a upstream proxy filtering crud like this. I had that sort of thing in place for my end users.

Frannie
 
Anyhow (I am just as bad myself)

Just details of the problem. No problem give yourself a hearty golf clap. If you have a problem please just report the actual issue with as much detail as possible.

I know this has been stated a few times. Gnashing about and speculation just makes it harder for the people who are actually going to do something about this.

Last one, because it’s may be useful. Mine is working exactly as was explained it should. I am even on free WiFi all over the world all the time with all my stuff.

The thread title is "Report Problems With Ad's Here!" not report I am not seeing anything. Or I am cancelling my subscription. Or whatever.

Just "Report Problems With Ad's Here!"

I am getting a huge block of various ads showing up at the bottom of my page, which I've never seen before. I checked my subscription and it's still active. I also verified in my version of Chrome that the pop up blocker is enabled. This just started in the last few weeks. Most annoying.
 
Yeah I did the virus sweep and came up with nothing. The other day the ads were on both sides of the screen, now they are just at the bottom. Like others have said, let's report the problem and let the experts who fix this junk report back.
